Hey guys, my MF1010 has intermittent starting issues. Have checked all connections, replaced solenoid, battery, and ignition switch over the last several months. With a voltmeter, I see a drop of 2 volts in the ignition switch itself. 12.7 in, 10.8 volts out, no matter which terminal I check (glow plugs, solenoid, etc.). I intend to check my old ignition switch as well to see if it performs the same way, but I think ultimately I may just add a relay in between the clutch safety switch and the solenoid to switch the solenoid on directly from the battery post, just as you would jump it with a screwdriver to start the tractor.
I think this might work, but wondering if any of you have ever done this, or if anyone has found a better ignition switch for the 1010. I've read the jinmas use Ford switches routinely to clean up starting issues.....thanks.
